SASH-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 234,043, dated November 2, 1880. Application filed July 22, 1880. (Model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHLLIP PETER KUEH- BORTH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Greennp, in the county of Grcennp and State of Kentucky, have invented and produced a new and original Self Window-Fastening and Blind-Holder, of which the following is a specification. p

My invention relates to the improvements in a self Window-fastening and blind-holder.

In the accompanying figure of drawing, figure 1 shows the bed-plate of the fastening. 2 shows the cam when raising` the window. 3 shows the pawl holding the Wheel and preventing the changing of its position. 4 shows the cam when the window is partly` opened and fastened. 5 represents the hook. 6 shows the cord attached to the blind. 7 represents the Window-casing. 8 shows the window-sash partly open and held by the cam or eccentric wheel and the little arm.

This self-fastening is accomplished by a cam or eccentric wheel with notches therein, the cam, or eccentric wheel having an overbalance in Weight in the upper left part of the wheel, which will always carry the cam to its position for holding the window when open or closed. The pawl is to be used in addition to prevent the raising orloweringot the window from the outside.

The pawl and hook are both to be used at night or day to secure the fastening of the window when closed. The cord is to be used when attached to the window as ablind-holder.

I claim- 'lhe ratcheted overbalanced gzamdvheel 4, combined with its base-plate l, carrying a pawl, 3, and having the serrated fasteninghook 5, pivoted upon its central pivot, all arranged as and for the purposes set forth.

PHILIP PETER KUEHBOR'IH.
